East Winchester · SO23 · Est. 2010
House removals and man and van hire across the east side of Winchester, from St Giles Hill and Highcliffe to Winnall and Bar End.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of East Winchester in SO23, including Highcliffe, Winnall, St Giles Hill, Bar End and Chilcomb. Our base in Southampton is about 25 minutes away, so we offer house removals, man and van hire, packing and long distance moves from East Winchester 7 days a week.


Your local movers
East Winchester rises from the River Itchen up to St Giles Hill, where a viewpoint looks back over the Cathedral and the city centre. Highcliffe and the streets below the hill are mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces.
Further north, Winnall has family homes alongside the city's main trading estate, while Bar End to the south has the park and ride and sports grounds. Chilcomb is a small village just beyond the M3.
Many east Winchester streets are steep, with terraced houses and on-street parking. We check access and slopes before the day and bring enough hands to carry safely.
East Winchester sits right by the M3, so moves to Southampton, London and the rest of the UK are simple to plan.

★★★★★I used this to move within Southampton, and then out of Southampton a few years later, and both times it was a very positive experience. From first message to the last box leaving the truck, I was assured about the move.
